The Great Pyramid in Egypt

How the Great Pyramid was built is a question that may never be answered. Herodotus said it would have taken 30 years and 100000 slaves built. Another theory is that it was built by farmers who were unable to work the land, while the Nile flooded between July and November. They may have been paid with food for their work. The flood waters have also assisted in moving the envelope stones. These stones were brought from Aswan and Tura and water could prompt the right stones of the pyramid. This pyramid appears to have been built between 2589 to 2566 BC. It would have taken more than 2300000 stone blocks an average weight of 2.5 tonnes each. The total weight would have been 6000000 tons and a height of 482 feet (140m).

Chephren is the son and successor of Cheops and Hensuten. Khufu's other son and successor, Ra'djedef, began building its own pyramid at Abu Rawash, which is north of Giza. The Pyramid of Chephren is more modest than Khufu's. The Pyramid of Chephren was originally 10 feet (3 m) and 48 feet short (14.6m) closer to the base. The estimated weight of all stones in the pyramid is 4880000 tons. Because it is built on the top shelf, it seems larger than most corners of the pyramid of Khufu. The slope of the angle is higher compared to the 53 degrees 51 degrees Khufu. The Pyramid of Menkaure (Mycerinus) is the smallest of the three pyramids of Giza and shows the beginning of the decline of the workforce in the construction Egyptian pyramid. The attention to detail is not because it is the first pyramid
